The Mysterious Disappearance Of Suzy Lamplugh

In April 1989, a woman contacted authorities to report she had reason to believe her former boyfriend, John Cannan, who went by the nickname "Kipper," was involved in Suzy Lamplugh's abduction and possible death. As reported by The Guardian, Cannan, a convicted killer — he got his nickname in prison — was interviewed by law enforcement officials a total of three times. However, they were unable to prove any link between Cannan and Suzy.

In 1993, Suzy Lamplugh was declared legally dead and it was assumed that she had been murdered. However, as reported by the Suzy Lamplugh Trust, no trace of her or her remains have ever been found.

Between 1994 and 2000, authorities received at least one confession to Suzy's abduction and murder, which was proven to be false. The Guardian reports the police also received several tips about where her remains may have been buried, but those reports were also determined to be unfounded. In November 2002, authorities admitted John "Kipper" Canaan was the "only known suspect" in Lamplugh's abduction and likely death. However, they simply did not have enough evidence to secure a conviction.
